New and Improved Features 

Configurable

• PMP-88582 : Material import option at Corporate level
• PMP-88584 : PSM implementation for different Incident Types
• PMP-88581 : Tier type of the Incident to be dependent on APL 754 Questionnaire
• PMP-88583 : Tier type determination on the basis of Release Temperature

PMP-88582: Material import option at Corporate level

Existing System: 

• Material import option is Location specific.
• APL doesn't have Material codes based upon Location.

Purpose: 

• Provide the 'Material' lookup at the Enterprise level.

Enhanced System:

• Material Lookup has been removed from the Location setup and moved to the Enterprise setup.
• Admin users will be able to Add, Edit, Delete, Import, Export and Search the Material List from Setup > Enterprise Setup > Material. 

Impacts: No impact

PMP-88584: PSM implementation for different Incident Types

Existing System: 

• Process Safety Management for APL is only applicable for Injury/Illness and Property Damage Incident types. Near Miss Incident type doesn't have PSM implementation.
• Doesn't allow the existing PSM flow to be used for other Incident Types.

Purpose: 

• Add the PSM questions under the 'Common Question' section on the 'Investigation Questions' screen, so that if needed in future, it can be used for other Incident Types.

Enhanced System:

• The parent question "Did the Incident involve a chemical or chemical process?" has been placed underneath the 'Common Questions' section with three options - Yes, No and NA. This question is mandatory and the radio-buttons will not have any default selection.
• If the response to the parent question - "Did the Incident involve a chemical or chemical process?" is 'Yes', then the PSM related questions will be displayed.

Impacts: No impact

PMP-88581: Tier type of the Incident to be dependent on APL 754 Questionnaire

Existing System: 

• Process Safety Management-I used the combination of Material Code, Release Location & Spillage Quantity to determine the Tier Type of an incident. 

Purpose: 

• Introduce a new additional logic to determine the Tier Type-II Incident.

Enhanced System:

• The new Logic for Tier-II determination is an additional logic and the existing logic will work as-is for all the cases where the new logic cannot be used to determine Tier Type-II.
• The PSM questions have been added under the 'Common Questions' section on the 'Investigation Questions' screen.
• There is a mandatory question under the 'Common Question' sections i.e. "Did the Incident involve a chemical or chemical process?" with three options - Yes, No and NA. If the response to this question is 'Yes' then the following three dependent questions are displayed:
  • Did an employee, contractor, or subcontractor medical treatment case
  • Did a fire or explosion damage greater than or equal to $100,000 of direct cost
  • Did a fire or explosion damage greater than or equal to $2500 of direct cost
• An Incident will be categorized as 'Tier Type-II' based on the combination of following question responses shown on the 'Investigation Details' screen.

                1.Did an employee, contractor, or subcontractor medical treatment case = Yes

1.                                                             AND

2.       2. Did a fire or explosion damage greater than or equal to $100,000 of direct cost = Yes

3.                                                          OR/AND
4.      3. Did a fire or explosion damage greater than or equal to $2500 of direct cost = Yes

 Impacts: No impacts

PMP-88583: Tier type determination the basis of Release Temperature

Existing System: 

• Tier type of an Incident is determined based on the combination of Material Code, Release Location and Spillage Quantity.
• 'Hazard Classification (Packing Group)' field is a text field.

Purpose: 

• Add an additional logic to determine the Tier Type of an Incident on the basis of release temperature.

Enhanced System:

• 'Hazard Classification (Packing Group)' field control has been changed to a Dropdown (without any default selection) in the following sections:
• •  Setup > Enterprise setup > Material > +New
  •  Import Material List template
• If the Material Code (selected from the picklist on the 'Investigation Questions' screen) has 'Hazard Classification' mentioned as “Based on release temperature threshold quantities needs to be determined”, then a new field i.e. 'Is material released above it's Flash Point?' will be shown on the 'Investigation Details' > 'Common Questions' section.
• Details of the new field 'Is material released above it's Flash Point?' is given below :
  • Radio-button with values 'Yes' and 'No ' (without any default selection)
  • Non-Mandatory
• If the response to the question 'Is material released above it’s Flash Point?' is selected as 'No' then the incident will be classified as 'Tier -3' and if it is selected as 'Yes' then the Tier Type would be selected as 'Tier-2' or 'Tier-1' based on the existing logic i.e. combination of Material Code, Release Location and Spillage Quantity.

Impacts: No Impact
